Thank you.

I would just like to clarify something that I said.

We talked earlier about a “designated person”, that is, a trusted person to whom an employee who is the victim of harassment can turn.

Ms. Lippel, you are suggesting an amendment to section 127.1 of the Canada Labour Code, which is entitled “Internal Complaint Resolution Process”, and involves the supervisor. It is on page 3 of your presentation.

Are you suggesting that the complaint should be filed with the designated person? Is that really what you are suggesting, rather than going straight to a third party, as Ms. Thomlinson suggested?

I would like to hear your thoughts on that.
